Hi guys...need a few opinions here thanks. Getting the black 'rolla tinted next week at the Tint Professor in nunawading (vic)...they're telling me not to get the standard black (as on their Getz's) but 'cos it's black, they always go for a more silver tint that looks (to them) better on black..

So which do you agree with them, and are they good guys to deal with...??

Cheers fellas..

Yeah I heard that black cars apparently look more better with the silver film.

Im not sure if its legal though? Could that be classified as mirror tint?

Hey there,

Welcome to the club man. :D

I got my Black STivo tinted from the dealer...not as black but more a dark greenish tinge.

At first i was ****** off cause it wasn't black enough but as has been confirmed it was the darkest legal limit, n the way it tints is a little diff - Mirror like.

Not too sure bout T.Pro but if i was gonna retint...i would've gone to them.

There are a few diff types of tints...but i believe the main too are either:

1. Just darkening your windows for a dark look or...

2. My personal preference...mirror tints which actually work like mirrors do.

If you check out a lot of new Jap imports inc R34s, Evo 8s n above and even the Toyota Kluger the have what's called "privacy glass" setup where only the rear n passenger windows are allowed to be PiTcH black.

As for tint colours black or silver i think is up to you for your own personal preference. B)

Should come on the cruise man! Check out the Melb Meet Thread, i'm sure u can get a whole lotta ideas from other Rolla owners. :D B)

Yeah that was like me. When I got my car back from SolarTint I was very dissapointed with the "lightness" of the tint. Legal is tint is not very dark at all.

I work in the automotive industry and in my experience it is extremely rare to get pulled over for your tint. I had an ambulance tint on my last car which you litereally couldn't see into even if you put your nose to the glass. Only once was it ever commented on in 3 years of being pulled over, and all that was said was "Is that tint legal? It looks too dark" To which I replied it was on the car when I bought it...Nothing more said. I wouldn't worry bout it.

Thanks for all the input fellas..much appreciated.

The cost is $265...seems good considering it's for premium tint when others like tint-a-car are quoting the same for their el-cheapo basic tint.

You also get to drive their lairy getz's as a loan car if you need it.

They have an interesting forum on their site www.tintprofessor.com.au/forum/ and they seem pretty honest with their responses on the form.

Might post some pics when it's done.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      I bought my 2006 ATX Aurion back in 2015/2016 with 160,000 KMs on the odometer. 8 years and 100,000+ KMs later, still going strong. I do a lot of preventative maintenance with regular engine oil changes. Transmission fluid has been changed and also the coolant. In that time period, I have replaced the water pump, alternator and both front and rear struts/shock absorbers. In hindsight, I have replaced brake pads much sooner than needed. Overall, future maintenance should not be expensive.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi Reece, I've been trying to reply to this post, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me. On one of my morning walks, with my dogs, there is a Hi Lux tub sitting on the nature strip. I know nothing about it, except that I think the owner could well sell it, but hasn't. I will attach a photo for you, and if you are interested I will email you the address, if you PM me with it. Note that it is in Geelong, Victoria, maybe a good reason to visit. . Herb

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Fitting on the headlight bulb appears to be the usual twist to release and lock. Definitely do not try to brute force the removal because you will definitely break something like the headlight housing. Suggest that you use some WD-40 and have a real good look at the existing bulb using a mirror and a good light source. Then have a few wiggles attempts to loosen the existing bulb so it can then be removed. If this does not work, then time to be smart and not stubborn. Far better to pay a $15 fitting fee than the exorbitant cost to replace a damaged headlight assembly.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!
